It is there. Check out the requirements for cell phone systems and 911 services. Federally mandated too. The full potential is limited by some standards still not being fully in place and the cost of creating and maintaining the metadata. We could apply the HumanML schema concepts and get quite a bit of progress if the users are willing to fill in the forms and grant permissions. This is limited only by bandwidth and the will to register (like Hailstorm - it depends on identity services). len -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Allen [mailto:joshuaa@m...] Good point; I just tried this with my cellphone, but all of the location-based services that find Pizza joints (like go2.com) require that you type in a ZIP code or something first. That is pretty lame, considering that the WAP provider should be able to at least give a good guess based on source address of my device. I mean, the chances are pretty low that someone in Washington would be connecting to a comm tower in California... This is such a seemingly possible thing I wonder why it's not already there? Of course, comm station is not the same as pinpointing an exact city block, but still interesting.
